An update from Kyle Murphy, DFW Sr., Environmental Scientist, on the landlocked Chinook egg take.   Crews took Chinook eggs from "tweeners" (fish that separate Spring from Fall runs) the first week of October at the Feather River Hatchery.  I participated in the first days effort.  Crews took a total of 2.76 million eggs, of which all were tripoded.   An allotment was retained at Feather River Hatchery and the remainder were shipped to Silverado Fisheries Base in Napa.  Eggs are looking good so far.   CDFW used their new triploid machine which provides for twice the capacity of older machines for each triploid batch, thus improving efficiency.  Currently, everything looks good to meet our 900,000 fish allotment target for release next year.  Another inventory at the eyed stage, in a few months, and will see how much mortality occurred.

Kyle Murphy from DFW just gave CIFFI the results of the 10/09/18 egg take... we had our best one day in recent history! The egg count was 1.5 million. They handled close to 700 male and female fish with the longest fish being 18 inches and the average being 15 and three-quarter inches. A huge shout out to all of the volunteers from CIFFI, Kokanee Power, and DFW. It was a 13 hour day on the water for egg collection, and an even little longer day for DFW and San Joaquin Hatchery workers who wrapped up at 4am.
